CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — A pregnant woman in Cape Canaveral was hit by lightning Friday.
Eyewitness News learned she was knocked unconscious, but regained consciousness on the way to the hospital.
The woman’s mother called 911. She told paramedics they were driving down SR-520 in a small red pickup truck with the windows rolled down.
The mother said there was a flash of lightning that she thought came in through the window and knocked the pregnant woman across the cab.
The driver pulled into a 711 and waited for help. She described how it happened.
“We were at the marina and we were driving back on 520. She bounced up against me and went completely out,” said the woman’s mother.
She said the whole truck shook. The victim is 21 years old and five months pregnant. The woman and her unborn child are being evaluated and treated by doctors at the hospital.Experts say it’s possible even though a car may be grounded, that lightning can fork through an open window. They say to always keep windows closed during thunderstorms.

Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
